BT and Sal ignite a heated debate over the cinematic classic Braveheart, with Sal expressing shock and dismay that Hoff has only seen the Best Picture winner once, and that it "didn't click." While Sal passionately defends its greatness, comparing it to "a different level" like the "Lord of the Rings for action movies," BT remains unimpressed, confessing he's seen more memes than actual movie and dismisses it as just "war stuff" with Mel Gibson "running around in a skirt." Their clash over the film's merit leads to playful jabs and a clear divide in their movie tastes, particularly on epic historical dramas versus other genres

In this episode, actor and comedian Jamie Lissow joins Adam in the studio for a wide-ranging conversation. They kick things off by listening to a new track from legendary Alaskan singer Don Hodiak (aka Mike Dawson), before Adam launches into a rant about the Left's obsession with diversity—including the absurdity of pride flags on police and athlete uniforms. Adam also shares a hilariously brutal method for breaking someone's psyche.In the news, Elisha Krauss joins Adam to unpack a new study that names San Francisco the worst-run major city in the U.S., citing failures in financial stability, public safety, and infrastructure. They also highlight the remarkable journey of Messiah University's baseball team, which prioritized faith and Bible study over traditional game strategy—a surprising move that propelled them all the way to the Division III World Series.Finally, Raymond Arroyo stops by to talk about his New Orleans roots, his theater background, and his memorable interview with Jerry Lewis. The conversation shifts to the brilliance of Mel Gibson, a nostalgic look at the classic Chrysler Cordoba “Corinthian Leather” ad, and a thoughtful comparison between classic and modern theater. Adam wraps things up by breaking down the stark differences between clean and dirty comedy.Get it on.FOR MORE WITH JAMIE LISSOW:INSTAGRAM: @iamjamielissowWEBSITE: www.jamielissow.com/FOR MORE WITH ELISHA KRAUSS: INSTAGRAM: @elishakraussWEBSITE: elishakrauss.com JOURNAL: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/author/elisha-krauss/FOR MORE WITH RAYMOND ARROYO:INSTAGRAM: @realraymondarroyoTWITTER: @raymondarroyo WEBSITE: www.raymondarroyo.comPODCAST: Arroyo GrandeThank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlineHomes.comForThePeople.com/ADAMoreillyauto.com/ADAMPluto.tvLife insurance is never cheaper than it is today.

We break down what he said, what Tucker Carlson, Rand Paul, and others are saying about the danger of escalation, and show you how the establishment is salivating at the thought of global conflict.

We break down Elon Musk's son performing at an anti-ICE event, Tim Walz's embarrassing military parade meltdown, and why Mel Gibson is going scorched-earth on Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass. […]

The show opens with a breakdown of all the violence that took place during the No Kings bought-and-paid-for protests, including the assassinations of two Minnesota lawmakers and more attempts by a Leftist lunatic. And Democrats tried to spend the weekend telling us how they are the party of peace, love and joy. Mel Gibson put out a video asking why his fellow Angelenos tolerate poor leadership. He also hints that their decision-making might be even more malevolent than that. We know the Left loves their permanent under-class and wants to keep them under their thumb. French president Macron asked the Israeli display at a weapons convention be covered up to hide their display of missiles. So, Israel used the moment to troll him right back. We spend some additional time on the back and forth between Iran and Israel and get some thoughts from Victor Davis Hanson. We end with a female state broadcaster in Tehran as their building is targeted and taken offline. Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

Adam kicks off the show by tackling the explosive immigration riots currently unfolding in Los Angeles. He vents about the breakdown of law and order, imagines how his squad of trained “attack crows” could end the madness in minutes, and questions the cultural shift that's made people stop fearing the police. Independent journalist Aldo Buttazzoni calls in to share what it's like on the scene of the LA immigration riots, discusses the viral photo he captured amid the chaos, and offers firsthand insight into the escalating unrest—complete with shocking on-the-ground footage.In the news, Adam and Jason “Mayhem” Miller break down Simone Biles' heated clapback at Riley Gaines amid the ongoing debate over transgender athletes in women's sports. They also discuss rising panic in New England as a 13th body is discovered under mysterious circumstances, fueling fears of a serial killer. Then, they cover the dramatic detainment of Greta Thunberg and other activists aboard a Gaza-bound aid ship intercepted by Israel, and close out the segment with an update on Mel Gibson's massive effort to rebuild his $14.5 million Malibu mansion, which was lost in a wildfire.

A 90s era Mel Gibson revenge movie that stands up.

James DuMont #4 Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I chat with actor James DuMont for the FOURTH time! James has been on every other year; 2019, 2021, 2023, and now 2025. Obviously, we don't do the "how did you get from where you were to where you are" thing this time. Go back and check out his previous appearances for that. In this episode, we chat about the conclusion of HBO's hit series The Righteous Gemstones. Season 4 was the final season and was released not long ago. James played Chad on 20 episodes of the series, and James' real life son Kelton played Pontius Gemstone. James shares fun stories from the set, including some of the things he learned, some of the things he appreciated, and some of the things that he will miss from working with this amazing group of professionals. Next, we move onto a discussion about his new movie 'Unit 234', where he stared alongside the great Don Johnson. This was filmed during covid, and it is where James actually caught covid for the first time. So he explains what it was like to be 'trapped' in a 4-star hotel on the beach in The Cayman Islands. The DuMonts both recently made a change in management after 30 years, so I ask him all about why, and how it has been going since the change. Finally, we discuss James' other job. For more than a decade, James has been teaching actors how to properly film and submit self-taped auditions. For over fifteen years, James has himself been booking auditions via self-taped submissions. As a matter of fact, James has book well over a million dollars in acting jobs from self-tapes. He has over 2500 students across many countries and continents, and he gives a couple of tips to the Streetwalkers! Make sure you check out his 'On Camera Workouts' Instagram page and reach out to him if you would like to participate.

Today I am joined by returning guests Jay and Athenian Stranger to begin a series of discussions reminiscing about 80's action movies. This episode explores the genesis of the genre with a primary focus on First Blood and First Blood Part II, but we also discuss Swarzenegger and his films, comparing and contrasting the two stars and their movies. We mention more or less all of their 80's films, but spend most of our time on Rambo, Conan, Commando, Predator, Cobra, and Tango and Cash. In the future we plan to have episodes on Mel Gibson, Steven Segal, and Vandamme, and then round out the series with the fate of the 80's hero and big action films as they bled over into the 90's.

We fire up the Interceptor and go full throttle into George Miller's apocalyptic fever dream with Mad Max — the gritty, low-budget Aussie flick that started it all. This week, we ride shotgun with Nick, Elise, Anthony, and Manny as they barrel down Anarchy Road in a whirlwind of chaotic impressions, leather daddies, and saxophone seduction.   It's the birth of a cinematic legend, but that doesn't stop us from marveling at the bizarre world-building choices, thirsting over plant-filled apartments, or spiraling into heated debates about fan belts, face loss, and what exactly that biker gang was doing with a mannequin. One minute we're discussing guerrilla filmmaking, the next we're debating if Mel Gibson was too hot to be taken seriously as a man on the edge.   We also pay tribute to Goose — the MVP of the movie and the true spiritual ancestor of every doomed best friend in action cinema. His wipeouts are legendary, his charm unmatched, and his demise the moment Max finally puts the “mad” in his name.   Come for the guzzaline-fueled car chases, stay for the wildly unhinged takes and all-too-accurate observations about spiders, cops, and the universal appeal of nipple clamps. This one's not just rewatchable — it's damn near road-worthy. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082694/

Riparte il processo per la morte di Chiara Poggi, ma solo con probabilità virtuali; oggi il commento di Mario Ajello è sui pericoli della manifestazione pro Palestina in programma oggi a Roma; Andrea Bulleri invece ci racconta il significativo incontro da il presidente Mattarella e papa Leone; con Lorenzo Vita andiamo a Gaza dove per mettersi in salvo dagli attacchi d'Israele ci sono solo 7 minuti di tempo; per le pagine dello spettacolo l'esperta di cinema Gloria Satta ci svela i dettagli delle riprese della Risurrezione di Mel Gibson.

I catch up with actor Gregg Henry. He portrayed Grandpa Quill in the Guardians of The Galaxy trilogy. He's also starred in a couple of other James Gunn directed movies, Slither and Super. He starred opposite Mel Gibson in Payback. Gregg had roles in Star Trek Insurrection, United 93, Raising Cain and more. On television, he's appeared in 24, Scandal, The Following and Star Trek Enterprise. Besides being a talented actor, he's also an accomplished musician.

Today Dandino gifts Griffey a true macho nightmare in the Mel Gibson male fantasy What Women Want. We discuss Nick Marshall's abuse of his new God like powers towards any woman in his path, the insane mystical diety who choose to electrically super charge this horrible man, and ask if the movie actually learns any lessons from this Capra like premise. This is an increble and bizarre way to begin Griffey's Birthday Bonanaza.  Synopsis: A cocky, chauvinistic advertising executive magically acquires the ability to hear what women are thinking.

Before Fury Road, there was the raw, gritty original. In this episode, we fire up the engines and dive into George Miller's 1979 cult classic Mad Max — the film that launched a dystopian saga and introduced the world to a young Mel Gibson as the steely Max Rockatansky.Join us as we explore the film's low-budget brilliance, its bleak vision of near-future chaos, and the high-octane action that redefined genre filmmaking. We'll talk twisted metal, post-apocalyptic vibes, and why Mad Max still matters over four decades later.Whether you're a Road Warrior veteran or revving up for your first ride through the Outback, this episode is your gateway to the madness.

Mattson, Alec, and JJ have a discission that revolves around the cinematic exploration of "Hacksaw Ridge," a film directed by Mel Gibson that recounts the extraordinary true story of Desmond Doss, the first conscientious objector to receive the Medal of Honor. We delve into the complexities of Doss's character, who, despite refusing to carry a weapon, demonstrated unparalleled bravery by saving numerous soldiers during the Battle of Okinawa. The discussion highlights the dichotomy between the film's compelling portrayals of heroism and the criticisms of Gibson's directorial choices, particularly regarding historical accuracy. We reflect on the emotional weight of the film's climactic battle scenes, which serve as a testament to Doss's conviction and courage, juxtaposed against the slower narrative build-up that precedes them. Ultimately, this episode serves as a profound examination of the moral dilemmas faced by individuals in wartime, as well as the impact of storytelling in shaping our understanding of historical events.Support us:https://www.patreon.com/whatsourverdictEmail us: hosts@whatsourverdict.comFollow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatsourverdictTwitter: @whatsourverdictInstagram: @whatsourverdictYouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UC-K_E-ofs3b85BnoU4R6liAVisit us:www.whatsourverdict.com

In this powerful episode of Shat the Movies, hosts Gene Lyons and Big D, Dick Ebert, journey down under to revisit Peter Weir's 1981 war drama Gallipoli. Commissioned by listener Mac in Texas, this Australian New Wave classic stars a young Mel Gibson and Mark Lee as two spirited athletes drawn into the brutal realities of World War I. The Shat crew reflects on how Gallipoli flips the traditional war movie formula, building deep emotional connections with its characters long before the first shots are fired. From the dusty outback to the trenches of the Dardanelles, Gene and Big D dissect the film's themes of friendship, blind patriotism, and the gut-wrenching cost of war. They also explore how the film balances coming-of-age charm with historical tragedy—right up to its final freeze frame. With heartfelt insights, personal stories, and a few unexpected laughs along the way (yes, venereal diseases and desert treks come up), this episode reminds us why some war films hurt in all the right ways. Plot SummaryGallipoli is a 1981 Australian war drama directed by Peter Weir and starring Mel Gibson and Mark Lee. Set during World War I, the film follows two young sprinters from Western Australia—Archie and Frank—who enlist in the Australian Imperial Force and are eventually sent to fight in the doomed Gallipoli campaign. Through their journey, the film explores themes of friendship, national identity, disillusionment, and the tragic futility of war, culminating in one of cinema's most unforgettable endings.

Now for something slightly different. We take a look at the Indian language slasher remake of URBAN LEGEND (that has a side helping of the Mel Gibson comedy WHAT WOMEN WANT). Murders, dancing and electrocuted genitals await in this crazy Kollywood epic! Plus, recently seen, Erik's joke of the week and so much more!

When Liz Oyer was appointed US pardon attorney in 2022 by President Joe Biden, she'd landed her dream job. As a longtime public defender, Oyer was now in a position to advise the president on the backlog of thousands of individuals seeking presidential clemency. But earlier this year, her dream job ended abruptly.In March, Oyer was asked to make a recommendation to Attorney General Pam Bondi to reinstate actor Mel Gibson's gun rights, which were rescinded after a domestic violence conviction in 2011. Oyer reviewed the case and refused. Within hours, she says she was terminated. Last month, Oyer testified about her firing in front of Congress. She not only accused the Department of Justice of “ongoing corruption” and abuses of power, but she also said the administration tried to send armed US marshals to her home carrying a letter warning her against testifying. Oyer says it felt like “an attempt to display the power of the Department of Justice” and “make me afraid of telling the truth about the circumstances leading up to my termination.” In a statement, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche called Oyer's allegations about her firing erroneous and said her decision to voice those accusations is “in direct violation of her ethical duties as an attorney and is a shameful distraction from our critical mission to prosecute violent crime, enforce our nation's immigration laws, and make America safe again.”On this week's episode of More To The Story, Oyer sits down with host Al Letson to discuss the details of her firing, the role of the US pardon attorney, and how an advocate and defender of January 6 insurrectionists took her place inside the Justice Department.Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Digital producer: Nikki Frick | Interim executive producers: Taki Telonidis and Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al LetsonRead: A Whistleblower Says Trump Sent the US Marshals to Try to “Intimidate” Her (Mother Jones)Listen: All the President's Pardons (Reveal)Listen: How Trump's January 6 Pardons Hijacked History (More To The Story)Watch: Congressional Democrats Hold Meeting on the Trump Administration Agenda (C-SPAN) Donate today at Revealnews.org/more Subscribe to our weekly newsletter at Revealnews.org/weekly  Follow us on Instagram and Bluesky Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
